I am not a fan of players reading the boards. Think about the hard, sometimes undeserved, criticism that happens here by all us know it all, but never played, and never coached, armchair professionals. No, I would rather believe this is all behind the player's back ; )
But, I know better now and temper my thoughts to a much higher degree, given what I have said here has caused me issues with a player. I was treating the boards as a personal conversation between friends when in reality it is a public megaphone for all to see. It is fun to give and share honest opinions on something we care so much about. But, the internet is basically a public broadcast and what seems like harmless conversation can become harmful.
